About Discovered Check
Discovered check is one of chess's most powerful tactical weapons. When a piece moves to reveal a check from another piece, the opponent must deal with the check, giving the moving piece freedom to capture, threaten, or reposition without fear of immediate retaliation. Discovered checks often lead to decisive material gains.
